TRIPLE J SEZ:
OHHH GODGround-breaking indie rock quartet Pixies will return to Australia next March.
It’ll be part of “The Doolittle Tour” celebrating the 20th anniversary of the classic album Doolittle (1989), which was the second full-length release from the band. Black Francis, Kim Deal, Joey Santiago and David Lovering will perform all of the songs from the album as well as related B-sides.
“We wanted to do something special for Doolittle’s 20th anniversary,” Black Francis said, “and we thought this was a good opportunity to play all of the songs from that album, something we don’t normally do at a regular gig.”
This will be only the second Australian visit by Pixies. In 2007 they headlined the inaugural Australian V Festival, as well as shows in Melbourne and Sydney.
